Ponder how is that different in Nix?  Sure you can feed your data through a
variety of ad hoc tools, but it still really belongs to whatever it was
created in.  Its not like you can do much to an SQL database with a text
editor or spreadsheet... I will freely admit I have no experience with a nix
gui so there might be something I'm missing. But the premise seem to me to be
the same regardless of O/S or platform. Specific data types belong to
specific applications... the only change will be how you can try to integrate
that data into other uses.
